Best thing to come from the 80s...

Hmmmm... Sonic Youth, New Order, or My Bloody Valentine for me. Too difficult to pick just one though.

My knowledge of Peter Gabriel is embarrassing. Embarassingly small.

Oh yeah, MBV was tops! I usually don't think bands should "re-unite", but i would step over my own mother to see them again.

Excellent! I love their songs too! (Heh, even made a video to one of their songs). Though I think US only had a very limited exposure to their albums.

I only know one of their songs. :\

"Give a little bit of heart and soul,
Give a little bit of love to grow,
Give a little bit of heart and soul,
Now don'tcha baby beg for more..."

or something like that. I always thought that song would make a good AMV.

I thought Nine Inch Nails came out of the 90s, around 92.

Pretty Hate Machine (their first album) was released on November 9, 1989.

And the Down in It single was originally put out on vinyl in 1987.

Well, since we're correcting people on when bands came out, The Cure have been around since the late 70s.

Well, speaking of best things to start in the 70's and carry over to the 80's. RIP Joe Strummer.
